Lea Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 This is gonna be really, really hard. I like so many of these songs. I am listening now and wish I was gonna have the house to myself all day. When I get my PC up and running a lot of your vids are going on my favorites YouTube list. I haven't heard so many of them in so long. It's amazing how many truly fantastic songs are out there and until something like the tens come up we forget they existed Very cool list Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm sorry Carole, but no. Rules is rules. And Joe probably will need photographic proof that you abided by them. Looking forward to going through your list, Ujoe. Clothes or no clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thank you guys! I'm enjoying 'em, too. Note: That video for Fly Like A Bird is not Boz Scaggs' version. It sounds like some Country & Western dude. Not that there's anything wrong with that. A big thank you to Radhi and her lovely mini-skirted staff of SFers who attached the videos to my list of songs. So nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, with this list I could vote a completely different slate and be just as enthusiastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 UJ....Your are having quite a week. First, The Phillies are in the World Series, then it's your Top Ten. I'm not tellin you what to do, but maybe you should be buying some lottery tickets. If you do, I'm good for ten bucks...we'll split the winnings.

So nice! Oh, whoops! That song is not on youtube then, as far as I can see. I picked the country western dude because that's the song he says is playing (in the video description). Um, well... everybody has an idea now, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
